Even worse they will have the actual "borrowing" marks (cross out 2, give the tens spot ten, etc...)

Haven't done it in a while. Something like opening the Help feature and then typing in a url into the search field.

True- probably would work somehow- the help is a CHM... but on the other hand, that means it would likely work with notepad. as well- or any program with CHM based help.


I know what it was- it opens CHM help of some sort, and then you click on the control icon in the top+left, and select "Jump to URL"

I remember this annoying feature because I kept hitting it when trying to click Close when the program was minimized. I've always disliked programs that change the sysmenu.

It actually made me weep a little to think that these people were actually part of my generation... I told them "requiring" graphing calculators for Grade 11 and 12 was a huge mistake. Just taught them about the TI-83, not the bloody math. I'm probably the only one who even knew WHAT a standard deviation WAS, aside from a bloody function on the calculator. GRRRR.

of course with the calculator AND know what the heck was going on I just wrote TI-BASIC programs for each kind of question- which presented the answer in several ways that might be requested on the test. Saved a lot of time on most questions- even those that required me to "show my work" since the program DID show it's work... and I copied it... heh heh.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Coincidence ? ?

I think not...
